DE42990: Adjusted Timesheet not showing in PPA WIP
Steps to Reproduce:
Adjustment Timesheet does not post to WIP when financial status is closed when first adjustment posts.Follow these steps:
1. Create and financially enable two (2) projects (Project 1 and Project 2). Select Open for Time Entry and set Track Mode to PPM.
2. Add a financially enabled resource. Open for Time Entry. Make sure the resource is in the rate matrix so transactions will post.
Create one task on each project and assign the resource.
Timesheet steps:
3. Create a timesheet and add the two tasks from the two projects.
4. Make sure the Charge Code and Input Type code are populated.
5. Add hours for a few days on both projects/tasks.
6. Submit/Approve/Post Timesheet
7. Verify in Invalid Transactions
8. Post Transactions to Financials (Verify gone from Invalid Transactions)
9. Post to WIP - verify transactions are posted.
Adjust timesheet:
10. Adjust one line on the timesheet and remove the hours (zero or blank value) from Project 2.
11. Submit and Approve Do not post yet
12. Take off time entry and close financials for Project 2 (you already removed the hours). Not sure if Time Entry is relevant but financial status is.
13. Post Timesheets
14. Check Invalid Transactions - Entries should not be in there as Financial Status is closed.
Adjustment timesheet #2:
15. Open the project for time entry. DO NOT Change Financial Status - Remain Closed
16. Adjust the timesheet again and add hours back to Project 2.
17. Submit, Approve, Post again.
18. Check Invalid Transactions - Entries should not be in there as Financial Status is closed.
19. Open Financial Status on Project 2.
20. Post Timesheets again.
Expected Result: The two adjustments show in invalid transactions so the original timesheet gets credited.
Actual Result: Only Adjustment #2 is in Invalid Transactions. This causes WIP to have the Original Transactions and the #2 Adjustment transactions with no credits inflating WIP.

DE46426: Forecasted Utilization Report does not display FTE's under assignment column
Steps to Reproduce:

3. Run the report for FTE
-Note Assignments FTE shows 0 as there is 0 ETC
Expected Result: The calculation should use EAC hours for both.
Actual Result: FTE calculation for assignments is incorrect in the report query. When running the report with Unit Type as Hours,
the report uses EAC hours column whereas with Unit Type as FTE, the report uses the ETC hours column to calculate FTEs.

DE46829: New UX Timesheet Displays ETC Hours Inconsistently from Task to Task
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create assignment with Fixed Loading pattern
2. Make the assignment be prior week and future a couple of weeks and make sure there is ETC
3. Post a timesheet for the assignment for prior week do 5 hours or so to get an actual thru date so ETC for prior to Actual Thru gets dropped
4. Open timesheet for current week in classic and new UX. Add the Task
Expected Result: ETC is the same in both
Actual Result: Classic: ETC shows sum of future weeks (after current week)
DE44708: Project Allocation Team Audit Trail Last Updated Date is updated, but not Last Updated By
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in as an active userA
2. Make a change to a team member userB allocation through their calendar
3. Inactivate userB
4. Log in as another active user and run the Time Slicing job
Expected Result: When the Time Slicing job re-slices the data it should NOT update the 'Last Updated Date' or 'Last Updated By' fields on the PRTEAM record because this is an indirect update to the allocation data.
Actual Result: When a resource calendar is updated, it causes the Time Slicing job to reslice allocation data based on the new resource availability
The 'Last Updated Date' field is updated on the PRTEAM record because the Time Slicing job last processed the allocation data.
The Time Slicing job does not update the 'Last Updated By' field.
Therefore, the user interprets the event as an inactive user changed the record recently.
